Description from Artist:
During the pandemic, I have been making small, orderly drawings and collages at home, to calm myself and to keep making work in the disconnected pockets of time between teaching and raising two children. This series depicts the countless times I find myself counting or marking time in a day - monitoring my kids' computer time; marking exercise reps; breathing in a meditation, waiting or cooking dinner. Drawings on graph paper led to hand-drawn charts of numbers, and then to collages and drawings from collage.
